Muttai Kuzhambu | Poached Egg Curry

Muttai Kuzhambu / poached egg curry recipe – an easy South Indian style curry of poached eggs. This egg curry has eggs dropped in a flavorful gravy instead of the usual boiled eggs being added to a curry.

The eggs get cooked in the gravy absorbing all the flavors of the curry. This curry has poached eggs in a coconut based gravy. I have already posted an egg drop curry which has eggs dropped in a tomato-based gravy without coconut. I like both these versions as they are simple and easy to prepare.

This simple gravy makes for a complete meal when served with rice as you don’t require any side dish. It goes well as a side dish for chapati also. While adding boiled eggs to gravy is more common, I love this version of egg curry where the eggs absorb all the flavors of the curry and taste delicious.
